Ógra Shinn Féin raise plight of IRA POWs in Monaghan

Ógra Shinn Féin got active last weekend in Monaghan highlighting the plight of IRA POWs. Activists from Monaghan and Fermanagh leafleted the busy town and shopping centre, to catch the throngs of Christmas shoppers.

The republican youth movement said that they received a great response from the public, and will keep up solidarity actions for the prisoners who should be released.



Senan MacAoidh, spokesperson for the group said,

“Our thoughts are with the prisoners and their families this December as they face a lonely Christmas apart. We highlighted this to the hundreds of shoppers, and highlighted the fact that these men should have been released, not least because the IRA ended its armed campaign over 3 years ago.”


“This is but one of many actions taking place throughout Ireland, and we will keep up the awareness raising and building solidarity for IRA prisoners at home and our international comrades imprisoned abroad.”
